Hey Masters, you green turds got flushed by the new kids in town. Deal with it; you'll be out of money soon and come begging for a contract job to cover your senior coffee and bagel with the other cocoons at Panera.
wow!
you know i wouldn't normally enagage with such immature behavior but having been in two very different industries, i have to comment on you two.
first, to the experienced rep, settle down, you are letting a child push your buttons.
don't.
i happen to agree with your position that the industry as a whole has been posioned by the "newer" reps that flooded the industry in the last 10-15 years. pfizer was tremendous reason for this, as where all the big pharma comanies. they imbued a sense of class to a classless group and this led to a delusional self worth that just oesn't hold up under close scrutiny. they don't know what they think they know but they are willing, interestingly, to dismiss those who truely do know. btw almost ALL medical professionals know this.
so calm yourself. the industry is changing dramatically. contract sales forces will be a huge part of the future, which leaves reps like the child commenting out in the cold. he has no future in this industry with that mentality nor that lack of skill sets required for future positions in pharma. you, on the other are a valuable, yet , to date, unrealized asset soon to be tapped. in the next couple of years the "mature, seasoned reps" will be the only people comanies will be looking at. simple economics. cost effective over the long run, little to no startup time and tremendous relationship building skills at ALL levels.
to the little fella thinking your going to fly high, burning all your bridges as you walk towards the cliff. I hope you never have to face losing your job for any reason, but you will. and when it happens, your attitude will betray you. most likely the person interviewing you will be someone like me. and i am extremely adept at seeing through fakes who think thier resume is stellar, and it may be, on paper, but i have seen enough mediocre resumes with stellar candidates to know who is real and who is not.
you are not.
The fact that you come here, not to educate yourself as to what the underlying currents in the company and industry as a whole are, but to attck and try to belittle others who you could truely benefit from, speak volumes about you.
i would wish you luck in your future but i don't honestly think it will help you.
you will be gone LONG before your older more mature collegue will.
i hope, i really do hope, that we meet one day in an interview situation. just to rip you a new one! but alas, that will probably never occur. at least not with me. i have faith that it will with another "mature" hiring manager!
